I didn't find how to draw on an image like it was in previous version, for example to draw a route on a map.
We can choose a picture in the menu "Trace bitmap... but we have not the image on the screen.

Outstanding milestone in the history of Bixelangelo...awesome... wonderful...
amazing.... with this we will definitely get awesome results with BT... A GREAT UPDATE.....this will rock ...thank you Michiel for this......

The same can be done with route on a map, keep in mind that is only takes the contours of the image so make it a solid shape with a complex route that crosses you can delete the inner part of the sketch by using right click on node and there is Ghostwin a app that make a window transparant so you use it as an overlay.

Komies I always appreciate your explanations but this time perhaps it's me who doesn't understand you.
Could you show me how to use a map and have a path drawn on it in order to have this path animated on the map in BT. I repeat, in version 3 it was very easy to do.

Komies and vincent thank you for your time...
F9 window you are getting 3 modes...but not for me and trace png is also not working for me ..i know that Bixelangelo 4.0 is working fine with you...and it's perfect ...after your post...i came to know that....
After your post i reinstall it again ...still it's same... i can draw and save sketch but For me F9 and trace picture not working ..could it be my windows problem?? i am using Win7.. ...

I use Windows 7 too and it's ok.
It's like a displaying problem or maybe a Windows font size (have you the default values ?)
Sure, michiel will solve your problem
When you click on different places in empty window does the mode change ?
clicking in window your must have 3 modes :
top of window =DRAW FREEHAND
mid os window = EDIT SKETCH
bottom of window = EDIT ROLL

1. I used google maps to take a screenshot and used it in a paint app to draw a solid shape of the route of a simple bikerace loop. You can with trace bitmap import this in Bixangelo, but also directly in Blufftitler as sketch layer as in image 3. Keep in mind that the tracer starts at the left so turn the shape so the starting point is on the left.

2. You can use Ghostwin when you right click in the windows topbar you can set the transparency of apps like Bixangelo and use it as overlay for the map to draw with freehand and use edit to correct. With this you can make overlapping routes or just a single line.

OMG - the new Bixelangelo is brilliant!!!
An big applaus for Michiel and his team!
I have made a little test with my "own" roller coaster and this is very, very easy to do!
Thank you so much for this awesome program, Michiel!!
